| 2018 FAVORITE BOOKS |


The books included here are the ones that made me really happy or left me satisfied. I did not include reread in this. Now, let's see the list!

NOTE: If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read the parts that are strikedthrough
  1. Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (5/5)
    • I absolutely love this! The story and the characters were fun. I love the relationship between the characters and I love the development between Blue and Jacques.
    • I love this better than the movie because there wasn't any reason for you to dislike Simon at all. In the movie, you would kind of felt iffy at him getting used by Martin. Simon's just so fabulous and adorable here.
  2. The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan (5/5)
    •  The adventure in this was one of the best by Rick Riordan. It was full of fun, exciting, and heartbreaking things. I love how Rick Riordan wove the previous characters to the story so smoothly.
    • It was fun seeing more of the nature related characters. Also, the Meliai were awesome as fuck.
  3. Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor (4.8/5)
    • The book was fabulous as usual. Laini Taylor writes such beautiful books and I'm glad that she didn't let us down. This wasn't as beautiful as the first book for me but it was still an amazing book. I love everything that happened and how the story unfolded. I love how the issues were resolved. 
    • I love the characters especially since we see that there are character developments for some of them. The relationships that were built in the end were adorable and touching to see.
  4. Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare (4.5/5)
    • I really love reading about the Shadowhunter world and this is a good last book in a series. 
    • So many interesting adventures happened here and I really love how things unfolded. 
    • I love the relationships that developed between the characters (most of them) and I love seeing the characters from the previous series interact with the main characters of this book.
    • There were still many questions left but we still have future series to look forward too!
  5. Ghosts of the Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare (5/5)
    • Out of all the anthology that Cassie has created for the Shadowhunter world, this one is the best (Sorry, Magnus). 
    • I love how we got to meet new characters from different series that Cassie is going to write next and we also got to know more about characters we have heard from before. 
    • It was a very interesting mix of stories and I enjoyed reading each of them. I gave most of them a 4.5 or higher score.
  6. Circe by Madeline Miller (4.5/5)
    • My only view of Circe before reading this was kind of negative. She was powerful but she used her power in a bad way. I liked seeing Madeline's take on her. She showed us how amazing Circe is. How fierce. She was one hell of a woman and I have gained more appreciation for her as a character. She showed us that Circe was not bad at all. She was just trying to survive her life. I love how empowering it is. After so many abuse that Circe had to take, she was able to use her power to overcome it.
    • I loved the ending. It was a beautiful.
  7. All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover (4.8/5)
    • This was such an intense book. Most of the experience felt too realistic. It was relatable for couples even if you are not married.
